lawnmower questions

[skybytch 273]

Is there a lawnmower out there that is designed such that rocks or pebbles can not be thrown from underneath it? How about if it is being run on concrete with numerous small rocks and pebbles on it? Does a grass catcher bag prevent rocks and pebbles from being thrown off the bottom of the mower? Is it plausible that a mower being operated on concrete with numerous small rocks and pebbles on it could throw one of said small rocks and pebbles 8 feet high and 10 feet away with enough force to break a window?

When I was a kid I took out a window with a mower-thrown pebble, from 30 feet away. The point of impact was about 8 feet high.

Same happened to our neighbor last week. The slider door. Reel mowers are better for the grass, too.

Thanks, but it wasn't my mower that took out the window. I should pass that info along to the owner of the mower that did though.

Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

Yes. Been there, done that.

I like how in the video it shows the "owners" of the robomow working out in the gym while their robomow takes care of the lawn.

Couldn't they get the workout by just mowing the lawn themselves?

You're not really going to debate the logic of marketing, are you?

Where I used to live the kids across the street hit a golf ball with their riding mower. Right through my front window all the way to the back of the house on the fly from about 1/8 mi away. My first thought was someone shot out my window.

Mulching mowers without a discharge chute, or a covered chute greatly reduce the risk of flying debris.

Thanks. Do you know if any manufacturer says that debris absolutely will not fly from any model mower?

The company responsible is insisting that the mower they use absolutely will not throw pebbles. It'd be helpful if I could prove them wrong.

I don't know of a manufacturer that would or could claim that. Just threaten to call your laywer they will pay for the window.

What if we turned the blade into a spinning LASER beam? Quiet, light weight, no flying objects, ... just a lilttle burned grass smell.
...and worms with cancer.
